November 2025, placed 1st in Joseph May's poem based on a song contest
*********************************************************************
I knew two twenty-somethings who had been soul mates since age sixteen. The commonalities that drew them to each other were quite keen. They relished great old movies, those with lively song-and-dance routines. On weekend nights, they sometimes chose to join in Fred and Ginger scenes. Before long, “Singin’ in the Rain” became top choice. One time when they were watching—Don’t think I‘m insane when I tell what transpired that day! As unpredicted raindrops fell and matched those on the tv screen, the cute young couple could not quell the urge to reenact the scene. Outside, quite wet, they’d morphed into the movie’s Don and Kathy. While they sang and danced, they bid adieu reality in their own style! Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers “Singin’ in the Rain,” sung by Gene Kelly (Don) Kathy, Debbie Reynolds
